well, interesting question :) So I ran a script on all the inventories on
peeron (note, this is only stuff we have inventoried, so only about 1000
sets out of more than 4500)... There's some weird things at the bottom,
which I'd say can be safely ignored... We think the #1 position is because
of all the Technic sets, with all their black pins, and the Gray is second
because we have almost all the castle sets inventoried... Here's the
results:
1. Black -> 42185
2. Gray -> 27701
3. White -> 16999
4. Red -> 15108
5. Yellow -> 13936
6. Blue -> 11325
7. DkGray -> 6694
8. Green -> 5478
9. Brown -> 4380
10. SandGreen -> 2904
11. Tan -> 1743
12. TrRed -> 896
13. Clear -> 676
14. TrFlYellow -> 644
15. TrYellow -> 633
16. TrOrange -> 631
17. SandRed -> 520
18. TrLtBlue -> 508
19. Gold -> 497
20. TrGreen -> 322
21. Orange -> 303
22. TrBlue -> 302
23. Silver -> 298
24. Teal -> 254
25. Purple -> 197
26. Pink -> 84
27. FlatSilver -> 81

| This is a good start. Some suggestions for modifying the results: 1. Look at only a few common parts, especially bricks. I've acquired hundreds of 1x2 plates with clips from recent sets.
